A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 19

After confirming that LAL had been acquired by the Lamont Group, Everly was actually quite confused.

She was caught between resignation and stay.

However, she thought, it was just a branch. Maverick was the president of the Lamont Group, so he didn't have much time to pay attention to LAL.

She didn't want to mess her work up because of some personal matters.

That was good. She 'coincidentally' met the last person she wanted to see.

Everly was in a daze for a few seconds. She quickly reacted and greeted him, "Mr. Maverick, what a coincidence."

Maverick looked at her with a meaningful gaze and snorted with an expressionless face.

Everly thought to herself. 'What are you proud of?'

'Do you think I want to say hello?'

'If you weren't my boss.'

She thought that he would not like to see her anyway, so she'd better get away as soon as possible.

"Mr. Maverick, are you here for lunch? Then, enjoy your meal. I gotta go."

"What are you talking about?" Maverick sneered.

This man spoke to her, so Everly couldn't leave. She held her small handbag, thought for a moment, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"What did you just say?"

"I said, are you here for lunch? I gotta go."

Maverick looked at her mockingly. "What, Miss Everly eats in the bathroom?"

Everly was speechless.

Shit, was he causing trouble?

Did he have nowhere else to vent his boredom?

She didn't mean that, okay?

Everly bit her lips and told herself that it was probably because of the red wine incident which he hadn't gotten over. Forget it, just leave him alone.

She forced a smile but unnaturally revealed her two dimples. "Mr. Maverick, I didn't mean that. Are you still angry about that? I can apologize again."

Anyway, a smiling woman wouldn't be hit.

Thinking of this, Everly smiled more naturally.

So this was how she smiled?

Maverick had met too many people in the business world. He knew the difference between a real smile and a fake one.

Strangely enough, though he knew that this woman was smiling hypocritically at him, he felt that there was a streak of strong light dazzling him.

Everly's facial features were beautiful.

But at first glance, you wouldn't find her attractive. Only when you looked closer would you discover that her eyes were bright and watery, her nose was high and her lips looked so soft...

As she smiled, her two dimples were faintly visible.

She was an experienced office woman, but the two dimples didn't contradict with her face.

You would only find her enchanting, adorable, and somewhat pure.

He was a man who had been living in the darkness since he was young.

His heart had never beaten so fast, except that day when his daughter was born. But now the long-lost feeling came again.

Maverick frowned as he shifted his gaze away from the woman's face and glanced at his left chest.

The man's eyes flickered, and he cursed in his heart. 'You loser'.

"Miss Everly, do you think I'll accept your insincere apology?" Maverick was good at concealing his emotions.

Everly didn't know what he was thinking just now.

However, what he said to her was irritating.

She took a deep breath and asked, "Mr. Maverick, let's get to the point. I know that you have acquired LAL."

"Is that why you are so hypocritical towards me?" Maverick put both hands into the pockets on his trousers and stared fixedly at Everly. As he spoke, he took a step forward and looked down at her panicked face. "Are you cursing me in your heart? Are you irritated?"

Everly thought to herself. 'You are quite self-aware.'

"Of course not. I seldom curse at people." She smiled.

Maverick looked at her smiling face and raised his eyebrows. "So Miss Everly has something to say? Or you want to show your capability to me, your new boss?"

Everly's heart lurched. She felt that Maverick had set her a trap...

However, she couldn't figure out where it was.

"Miss Everly, you will receive an order from the Personnel Department. You will be transferred to Lamont Group's headquarters." Maverick sized her up. "Although you've worked in the US headquarters for several years, I'm looking forward to seeing your performance. Be a doer and don't disappoint me."

"You want to transfer me to Lamont Group's headquarters?" Everly was astounded.

"What? Are you afraid?"

Everly subconsciously said, "Why should I?"

She thought he was gonna fire her.

Everly thought to herself. So, Maverick was a person who wouldn't make his business personal.

"Then what department will I be in?" Everly asked.

"You'll know tomorrow." Maverick still kept her guessing.

Everly wanted to say something, but the man had passed her and walked inside.

The moment he passed her, he stopped. Everly saw that he was standing still, so she followed suit. Their shoulders faced each other.

Everly was puzzled, so she turned around and saw Maverick looking at her shoulder.

Because of the height, he looked down at her.

Everly frowned. Just as she was about to ask what he was looking at...

Maverick suddenly stretched out his hand. He grabbed her shoulder with his big palm. Everly was dumbfounded. Just as she was about to struggle, he sneered, "Are you sure you weren't wearing this on purpose?"

Everly didn't know what was going on. Wearing what? On purpose?

Maverick's palm slid across her round shoulder.

She subconsciously trembled.

Afterwards, the man's domineering aura dissipated slightly, and his following sentence froze Everly on the spot as if she had been struck by lightning.

"You want people's attention that much? Then, Miss Everly, you had mine."

After he finished speaking, he walked into the corner in front of her.

At this moment, Everly seemed to realize something. She reached out and touched her shoulder. Her face flushed.

Her bra strap!

When was it loosened?

Today, she was wearing white clothes without a coat because she worked indoors.

It had a V-shaped collar, and the loosened strap was very eye-catching.
